A Finite de Finetti Theorem for Infinite-Dimensional Systems

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v4

Abstract

We formulate and prove a de Finetti representation theorem for finitely exchangeable states of a quantum system consisting of k infinite-dimensional subsystems. The theorem is valid for states that can be written as the partial trace of a pure state chosen from a family of subsets C_n of the full symmetric subspace for nn subsystems. We show that such states become arbitrarily close to mixtures of pure power states as n increases. We give a second equivalent characterization of the family C_n.
